The Banner Horses

The banner to Thomo’s Hole now shows a herd of horses crossing a river. This is part of a photograph I took in Mongolia in July 2005. The horses were being moved by some Mongolians on horseback. The horses were moved across a river and that is when I took this photograph. The photograph is one of the ones that I have that were described as “National Geographic” photos. That is, one of those photos where everything — light, subject, exposure, everything — actually works.

The river is the Kherlen gol (Kherlen River – pronounced as Herlen) that runs across the border between Dornod and Sukhbaatar Aimags in Mongolia. It is one of my favourite photos of Mongolia.
